So here's a thread for one of my favorite books in recent history. Movie adaption is set for release early 2018. Helmed by the greatest director of all time Steven Spielberg.
So far
Wade Wotts - Tye Sheridan
Art3mis - Olivia Cooke
i-R0k - TJ Miller
Ogden Morrow - Simon Pegg
Nolan Sorento - Ben Mendelsohn
James Donovan Halliday - Mark Rylance

Good cast. I've never read the book (always been a bigger fantasy guy myself) but I'm looking forward to it.

The awesome thing about RP1 is that it's a sci-fi that takes place inside a virtual fantasy Warcrafty kind of world.
I highly recommend the audiobook read by wil wheaton if you don't have time to read the book yourself. It's on iTunes for not too expensive.

Looks pretty cool. I never thought I'd see a live-action version of a bike from Akira.

That can be answered by which company owns the Film Right to Spawn... so yeah I am guessing it is D-Stroke.

Looks interesting.
Never heard of the book or the film.
Intriguing, indeed.

I'm thinking Deathstroke too since WB's is one of the production companies.

I splooged when I saw the trailer. I've read the novel, and while this movie looks like it won't make as many deep cuts into 80s nostalgia, it perfectly captured the tone of the story.

Also noticed Freddy Kreuger can be seen in the trailer and also Duke Nukem.

Dizzy from GoW? Lara Croft. A-Team Van! Harley and Deathstroke? Duke Nukem. Atari Logo on that Akira bike? Halo AR shootin' Freddy Krueger. Leonardo next to Iron Giant? Not sure what else I missed, besides the obvious ones like Iron Giant.

Looks like a lot of fun.
I recently read the book and was entertained, so the movie looks like a win for me.
